EPISODE 70 WITH CLARA ALTIMAS IS AVAILABLE NOW!!🎉🎉 Link in bio for audio ep and video ep!🎧📺

🎬In today’s episode, Amanda drinks some Zevia cream soda and root beer with writer, director, and producer Clara Altimas. Clara is a writer, director, and producer originally from Montreal, now based between Toronto and Los Angeles. She serves as showrunner, executive producer, and director on Crave’s The Office Movers, created by Jay and Trey Richards, and is now working on season 3 of the series. She was previously a writer, producer, and director on CBC’s Strays and Kim’s Convenience. In addition to her television work, Clara has written and directed numerous short films, and is currently in development on her first feature film. She has also taken part in several major industry development programs, including the Canadian Film Centre’s Writer’s Lab and the Reykjavik International Film Festival’s Talent Lab. Before all of that, Clara started out as an actor, training in Meisner with the late Jacqueline McClintock, studying scene study and script analysis with Larry Moss, and performing improv at UCB in Los Angeles and Toronto’s Second City. She credits her love of story and character to her extensive training as an actor, and brings those experiences into her writing and directing work.

In this episode, Amanda and Clara discuss the shift from actor to writer/director, how she got started in writing for TV, and how she navigates the pressures of comparison and self-doubt in the entertainment industry.

Cute couple of weeks but most importantly I went to the CSAs for the first time and wore a dress that more than one person compared to a garbage bag.

That’s a wrap on season one of @theofficemovers !!!

I helped @jaerichards and @treyrichards turn their vision into a show and they helped me get a better grasp on Toronto mans lingo.

Okay but HONESTLY, being in Jae and Trey’s light is a gift and I feel so lucky to know them and to have experienced their endless creativity, talent, and kindness. Also, making them laugh gives me hope for my future in comedy cause they are the funniest fucks I’ve ever met.

Thanks for the memories, fam.
